Inspired by the dramatic mountain and valley views, the walls of the main en-suite bathroom in this Constantia home have been hand painted with birds, butterflies and floral motifs.

Oriental influences and accents provide a calm environment in this sea facing home, well suited to the relaxing endless sea scape that can be enjoyed from the ‘Sunken’ tub of Robert and Lee O’brien’s Clifton Villa.

Embracing the grassy meadows on this working apple farm in Elgin, the main bathroom of Margot and James Gilfillan’s home was designed to maximise views resulting in a connection with nature.

Interior designer Andrea Graff creates a sense of masculinity in this family-friendly yet sophisticated home in the heart of Constantia by including Wenge Timber cladding in the bathroom, bringing harmony between the space and its treetop surroundings.

The owners of this Jo’burg home made the property purchase based largely on the exquisite oak tree in the garden. A verandah and wrap around walkway were added to the original property enhancing the flow between the garden and home.

Pop of Colour

Fresh florals in this Bishopscourt bathroom by designer Kim Stephen link with the outdoors and contextualise the pop of bright pink, complementing the pewter tub by Victorian Bathrooms.

The freestanding outdoor tub on the upper terrace of Serena Crawford’s Constantia home takes the cake when it comes to a grand view. Its idyllic settings provide the perfect escape for a good soak and some summer sun.
